The most anticipated duels in the football field are certainly the city derbies, but when this duel moves to the console, the two undisputed kings are, inevitably, PES discipline e FIFA. Today we will not be talking about the second, since this analysis is dedicated to the title Konami, but bringing up some substantial differences between the two games will be necessary to better understand the differences. Let's start with the most important thing: the Japanese opera this year distances itself from the past, even changing its name: eFootball PES 2020. This mutation is due to the fact that the development house intends to focus heavily on the world of eSports, and wants to do it in style with a fresh, renewed product that will appeal to all football connoisseurs. The software house did not waste time, already this year even the most assiduous fans of PES discipline they will find important changes, which will influence both their style of play and the construction of the maneuver for the better, with a very realistic result and accompanied by a thick technical sector.
Revolution at PES
eFootball PES 2020, like its predecessors, it makes gameplay the real strength of the production. Konami aimed to make the game even more realistic by focusing on dribbling first. A teacher took care of these special lessons, “Don” Andres Iniesta, a guru for the entire football scene, who also provided the development house with technical and tactical advice on other additional topics always inherent to the ball. His advice is now an integral part of the experience and you will notice it right away. Let's start for example from the defense, which will move in a much more realistic way even in the ball possession phase, the players will move on the field with more awareness, avoiding empty runs or overcrowding in some areas, always giving you one or two simple solutions to unload the ball. The development of the game is fluid, fun and able to give satisfaction to those who propose football concepts and schemes.
We can leave the randomness of the momentum style to the competition, eFootball PES 2020 has given these contrasts an even higher rate of unpredictability. To get the better of your opponent you will have to improve football, since the strongest will win and you will not be able to take advantage of the "mistakes" granted by the game such as the kick off glich. Dribbling, already mentioned above, is a joy for the eyes: if for the technically skilled players jumping the man will be a walk, don't think that you can run 30-40 meters without problems. Even with the help of tricks, in the long run you will start to lose balance and it will be more difficult to handle tackles. In any case, it will be possible to link exchanges and insertions at full speed, with a really high level of spectacle. If you think that the defenses will be penalized you are very wrong, in fact in PES 2020 knowing how to move the defenders will be fundamental.
Deciding whether to go out, delay or call the double will be very important in order not to leave spaces: knowing read the action, as well as in reality, it is a quality that will give you a big advantage. The first control of the various athletes is now almost perfect, with the more technical players able to even gain time at the maneuver thanks to the oriented control.
Shooting has been further improved, even if you don't have to think you can score by shooting from any position. To make the perfect shot you will still have to look for the coordination of your player, hit the ball well and with the right power. The result of all this is a real match, with a very high rate of meritocracy. There are, at least from this first test, bugs that can undermine the experience by privileging one of the two users in the case of 1vs1. This is a big credit, given that finally the strongest wins.
MyTeam and other content
Let's now move on to the sore point of the game, namely the MyTeam. The modality that represents the counterpart of Konami to the FIFA Ultimate Team, allows users to create the dream team we all deserve. However, do not think that it is a mere copy of what is proposed by EA, as we are being offered a new way of understanding our club. To compose yours you will need agents, who replace the packages, each of these has different qualities by providing athletes in five different categories. Once you've redeemed everything, get ready to see which one will happen to you. The problem is that if you want someone specific you will have to mobilize three different types of agents, a not particularly fluid technique that will surely make you waste some time but that will pay off. Another thing to do is take advantage of the observers, if combined three of them can lead to the required player, even in this case it will not be particularly fluid. However, we assure you that in a short time you will be able to have a super team without wasting a cent, contrary to what happens in FIFA.
As far as the other modalities are concerned, there really isn't much to examine, but the most important thing about production remains there Master League: now you can not only choose your budget but the amount of transfers of the other teams, with a much more dynamic result that makes the transfer market even more real. This will allow you to have worthy rivals in the league, with the top teams constantly updating their squads to keep up with the times. Unfortunately for the rest we cannot express ourselves, since there are no particularly exciting contents, if eFootball PES starting from next year to focus on this component, it would be really close to perfection.
Licenses and Conclusions
We know one of the sore points of PES discipline has always been the question linked to licenses. Precisely for this reason we tell you not to worry too much, since thanks to the appropriate command, it will be possible to change the names and logos of all the teams, so as to avoid unpleasant inconveniences. The news that has increased the anticipation of the game the most is certainly the purchase of the brand Juventus. The old lady will be there with the official stadium and all, and all the players will move identically to their real counterparts. Konami moreover, for all the other players who have not had the same exclusive treatment as Juve or other partner clubs, he emulated the movements of Ronaldinho, trying to re-propose them with the due limits, both as regards the beauty of the gesture or the technique, at the inside of the experience. Obviously this feature will depend on the athlete's statistics, don't expect the movements to be identical for everyone. From a technical point of view eFootball PES 2020 is a splendor, since the graphic quality is excellent and you will be literally catapulted into a football match. You will feel the push of the audience in case of need and the roar after a goal in a truthful way. The celebrations have also been retouched, now more fluid and beautiful to look at.
In conclusion we can say that eFootball PES 2020 it is without a doubt, repeating ourselves, almost the definitive football game, what we needed: a clear step forward compared to the past that will - and we are sure - shake the competition. Players who love football cannot fail to find comfort in this title, developed exclusively for all those who are no longer there to lose by chance or too large pink differences. Having a competitive team certainly helps, but as in real football you need commitment, clarity and perseverance to achieve victory, CR7 with a full 99 of statistics can easily score from midfield. Fans of real football, the one made up of schemes, tactics, speed of execution and thought, will surely find something for their teeth. Long live football, long live EFOOTBALL PES 2020.
